Biography
Doc Gaston was born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1937, and he became the boss of the drug racket in the French Quarter under Lou Marcano. Gaston was an outsider who was known to be a hippie, but the people feared him because of the immense power that he wielded. In 1968, Detective Jim McCormick assisted Lincoln Clay with bringing Gaston down, and he killed his enforcers, destroyed his product, and damaged his racket, costing Gaston a lot of money. Clay then headed to the basement of the Big Mouth Jazz Club, engaging in a large shootout with Gaston's Marcano bodyguards. Clay gave Gaston the opportunity to work for him, and Gaston ran the drug trade in the French Ward for the Black Mob.
